Karl Babiczuk-Brown, 29, previously admitted nine charges but denies having relationships with two further girls, aged 14 and 15, who he met through a theatre group.

Babiczuk-Brown, of Louth, Lincolnshire, was employed as a teacher at Havelock Academy in Grimsby in August last year when he went to an arts festival on a school trip with other staff and pupils, a court was told.

Grimsby Crown Court heard it became clear that a 15-year-old girl was having a relationship with Babiczuk-Brown, who is no longer employed by the school.

"When they returned from that trip to the local area, the police became involved and the defendant was suspended from his job," said Rachael Harrison, prosecuting.

Police then spoke to other people and two other girls were identified. One of the other girls spent a day with Babiczuk-Brown, the court heard.
